Superficial siderosis is a rare disease of the central nervous system. It is caused by hemosiderin deposition usually following subarachnoid hemorrhage. We report a 67-year-old man with history of motor vehicle accident in 1974 who presents with tremors, worsening ataxia, and impaired auditory, olfactory, and gustatory sensation. The patient was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging of the brain that showed areas of superficial low T2 signal throughout the posterior fossa, ventricles, sulci, and cisterns, most conspicuous on the gradient-recalled echo T2* susceptibility-weighted sequence. These findings are compatible with old blood products (hemosiderin) and the diagnosis of superficial siderosis.
